His fourth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham was even better than the bare form looks as he was best of those held up off the pace.

I’m expecting him to race more prominently over today’s slightly shorter trip and he should get the decent pace he likes. If the cheekpieces he wears for the first time does the trick he should be a big player.

Starchitect is interesting. He didn’t get the clearest of runs in a 2m4f handicap at last month’s Festival. If he stays this longer distance he should go well.
